Just want to come out and say that I think political discussions in this forum (honestly, in the world) should be moderated. A lot of times the posts are just unpleasant to read especially with personal attacks and stuff.

Politics is disgusting because it can make two people instant enemies purely based on one person hearing a different point of view at face value without understanding what the other person's reasoning could be. Maybe some people use information and logic, sometimes too fact-dependent, some others use their hearts, passion and beliefs. Nothing wrong with either one except until the odd person provoke others.

Doesn't matter what Pep does, at the end of the day we're all equally passionate Bayern fans who only want a win on the next game (but there will always be arseholes like Korab and Thiagoalcantara). Just like how we're all decent people in real life only trying to make a living regardless of what some of the real evil people (the politicians) do tomorrow to further their personal agenda, knowing full well no one cares about us.

Let's all get along. Not saying political discussions should be banned completely, because then what the hell do we talk about, but I hope we could be more civil.

I disagree... I think diversity, controversy, and an atmosphere of constructive debate is neccessary... Just that it's not too constructive as soon as you get labeled and get compared to retards...

I still very much consider myself part of what we Germans call the "politische Mitte"... Which means I go both ways but not very far, there's nothing more abstruse to me than extremism of any kind whatsoever... There's no difference for me between the **** Breivik and some bastard blowing up a bomb - and himself - in the middle of a crowded area... Both are extremists... (Interestingly enough from the same political camp, if you ask me... )And I despise those...

I think it's neccessary to have conservatives - and even arch-conservatives! - take part in political debate! And I usually take everyone seriously that actually brings solid arguments to the table abd tries to be reasonable... Just that you don't get that from the far-ends - regardless of direction (right or left)... Thing is: over here I get the feeling that arguments are completely ignored, especially the ones that are conclusive, compelling, and going into a direction some recipients don't like/want to

And no, I'm not hypnotized... I always make up my own opinion based on personal (and self-!)evaluation... And I do so by reading and covering a broad spectrum of media... And there's also very conservative stuff in... Not the far-right likes of close to NPD or AfD, but FAZ and Focus - and if you know the German media landscape you know they are pretty conservative...

So I'm not hypnotized... I wouldn't even know how as I'm not for opening the floodgates or anything... I see the current refugee crisis as a VERY BIG challenge for Germany and our society... I SEE difficulties and problems... There's a hell of a lot of it... But in the long run, it'll help us all, like new housing being used as student dorms and other stuff... And I think in the end this will be something to be REALLY and ACTUALLY proud of... Because while I love Germany and am DEFINITELY not ashamed or intimidated or anything, I think "pride" about being German is the wrong wording... Because IMHO you can only be proud of achievements, something YOU did -and not just about being born in a certain place...
